Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTIONS: DISPOSAL OF 51% ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF ISU TC CO., LIMITED AND DISPOSAL OF PROPERTIES

INTRODUCTION

The Company announced that on 16 May 2012 (after trading hours), in accordance with the intention set out in the MOU, the Company as vendor entered into the Framework Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which, amongst other things, the Company has agreed to dispose of and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire the Sale Shares, representing 51% of the entire issued share capital of the Target, at an initial consideration of HK$141,567,154.86 subject to the adjustment to be made prior to the Completion based on the net asset value of the Target and the PRC Company after due diligence to be conducted by the Purchaser.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As part of the Framework Agreement, on the same date of the Framework Agreement, Zhongshan Tat Chun, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement with the PRC Company, pursuant to which Zhongshan Tat Chun has agreed to dispose of and the PRC Company has agreed to acquire the Properties at an initial consideration of RMB83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million) which will be further adjusted to the market price as stated on the valuation report of the third party valuation agency to be appointed by the parties thereto.

The purposes of this circular are to provide you with: (i) further information regarding the Disposals; (ii) the financial information of the Group; (iii) the Valuation Report; and (iv) a notice to convene the EGM.

(A) FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Date: 16 May 2012 Parties: (i) the Company (as vendor) (ii) the Purchaser (as purchaser)

The Purchaser is a company incorporated under the laws of Korea and a listed company in Korea and is principally engaged in the manufacturing of PCBs.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are Independent Third Parties.

Conditions Precedent of the Framework Agreement

The transfer of the Sale Shares under the Share Purchase Agreement and the transfer of the Properties under the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement as contemplated under the Framework Agreement shall be conditional upon and subject to the passing at the EGM to be convened and held of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Purchase Agreement and the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and all other consents and acts required under the Listing Rules having been obtained and completed. If the condition precendent of the Framework Agreement set out above has not been fulfilled, the parties thereto are entitled to terminate the Framework Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contrary therein, if the PRC Company fails to procure 70% or more of the consideration of the Properties by borrowing from a financial institution using the Properties and/or equipment as collateral, the PRC Company shall be entitled to terminate the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement without any liability to Zhongshan Tat Chun pursuant to the Framework Agreement.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Principal terms of the Framework Agreement

The principal terms of the Framework Agreement mainly include the Sale Shares Disposal and the Properties Disposal. Details of the Disposals are listed out below.

Other terms of the Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company has agreed to transfer the entire MLB Business currently conducted or managed by the Company and its affiliates to the Target Group (including all customers and employees necessary for the MLB Business currently on the payroll of the Company or its affiliates) prior to the Completion.

The Directors are of the view that before the Reorganization, the MLB business are conducted by both the PRC Company and Zhongshan Tat Chun. Upon the Disposals, the whole MLB Business will then be transferred to the PRC Company and Zhongshan Tat Chun will no longer conduct the MLB Business. The PCB segment of the Company will then focus on the business on the manufacturing, marketing, purchase and sales of single-sided and double-sided PCBs.

The Directors believed that such transfer of the high-end MLB Business to the PRC Company can achieve win-win position for both the Purchaser and the Company because on one hand, the Company has experience of PCB operation in the PRC and on the other hand, the Purchaser has more high-end technology and high-end customers. As such, it is expected that the transfer of the MLB Business to the PRC Company will then be beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company shall enter into a shareholders’ agreement with the Purchaser and the Target in relation to the operation of the Target Group.

The Company and/or its affiliates (except the Target Group) shall not engaged in any business, which might directly or indirectly compete with the MLB Business anywhere in the world without prior written consent by the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s engaging in the single-sided and double-sided PCBs business do not fall within this restriction.

The Company shall be allowed to do marketing and sales of the MLB Business for commission on behalf of the Target Group with the Purchaser’s prior approval provided that the Company shall not compete with the Target Group for sales or marketing of the MLB Business. The Company may be entitled to commission for new customers of the MLB Business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(B) SALE SHARES DISPOSAL

SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date: 16 May 2012

Parties: (i) the Company (as vendor) (ii) the Purchaser (as purchaser)

Pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company will undergo the Reorganisation and the Company will transfer the entire equity interest of the PRC Company to the Target. As part of the Framework Agreement, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company has agreed to dispose of and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire the Sale Shares, representing 51% of the entire issued share capital of the Target as at the date hereof.

Assets to be disposed of

The Sale Shares, representing 51% of the entire issued share capital of the Target.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which is principally engaged in investment holding.

Consideration for the Sale Shares Disposal

The initial consideration for the Sale Shares Disposal is HK$141,567,154.86 subject to the adjustment to be made prior to the Completion based on the net asset value of the Target and the PRC Company after due diligence to be conducted by the Purchaser and shall be satisfied in the following manner:

  • (a) within five (5) Business Days upon signing of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay HK$14,156,715.48 to the Company in cash; and

  • (b) the remaining balance of the consideration of HK$127,410,439.38 (or the adjusted balance of the consideration) shall be paid in cash to the Company on the Completion provided that HK$20,000,000 shall be set aside to a designated account under the name of the Target, which shall be later withdrawn by the Company within two years from the Completion and the Company shall have the right to withdraw HK$5,000,000 for every six months if there is no liabilities in relation to the social insurance and housing contribution fund and other PRC taxes of the PRC company.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The final purchase price of the Sale Shares shall be 51% of the adjusted net asset value of the PRC Company as at 31 July 2012 minus HK$2,550,000. The Purchaser will conduct an additional due diligence on the Target Group before the Completion. The scope of the due diligence will cover the balance sheet items for the period ended 31 July 2012, including accounts payables, accounts receivables, list of fixed assets, inventories and bank loan. The net asset value of the PRC Company will then be adjusted (if any) after mutual agreement between the Company and the Purchaser. It is expected that the due diligence will be completed by the end of August 2012. The basis of determining the adjustment of HK$ 2,550,000 is based on approximately 2% of the initial consideration and such discount is given on the basis that the Purchaser will introduce and bring in more potential new customers with higher contribution margin to the Company later.

The purpose for setting aside the HK$20,000,000 to a designated account under the name of the Target as mentioned above is for any possible liabilities that may arise in relation to the social insurance and housing contribution fund and other PRC taxes of the PRC Company. The Directors have sought the view of the PRC legal adviser and they are of the view that the risk of the above liabilities is considered to be low. The Directors agree with the view of the PRC legal adviser.

The consideration for the Sale Shares Disposal was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties on normal commercial terms with reference to, among others, (i) the net asset value of the PRC Company; (ii) upon the Completion, the Target Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the Directors are of the view that the Sale Shares Disposal will result in a decrease in the management involvement and hence the costs to the Group. Further, after obtaining control of the Target Group by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will then transfer relevant technology for producing PCBs for high-end customers to the PRC Company and referring new PCBs customers to the Company; and (iii) the various factors set out in the section headed “Reasons and benefits for the Disposals” below. The Directors consider the terms and conditions of the Sale Shares Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions Precedent of the Share Purchase Agreement

Completion of the Sale Shares Disposal shall be conditional upon all the following conditions being fulfilled (or, where applicable, waived):

Upon the Completion, the Company will still hold 49% of the entire issued share capital of the Target and the Target will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

(C) PROPERTIES DISPOSAL

REAL PROPERTY SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date: 16 May 2012 Parties: (i) Zhongshan Tat Chun (as vendor) (ii) the PRC Company (as purchaser)

As part of the Framework Agreement, Zhongshan Tat Chun, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement with the PRC Company, pursuant to which Zhongshan Tat Chun has agreed to dispose of and the PRC Company has agreed to acquire the Properties.

Assets to be disposed

The Properties

Consideration of the Properties Disposal

The initial consideration of the Properties is RMB83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million) with reference to the unaudited net book value of approximately RMB83.9 million as at 31 December 2011. For reference, based on the Valuation Report, the market value of the Properties as at 31 May 2012 was RMB95.5 million. As the market prices have changed a lot since 31 December 2011, to better reflect the market value of the Properties, the parties agreed that the consideration of the Properties will be further adjusted to the market price. As such, a further valuation report will be made on or about 31 October 2012 by the third party valuation agency to be appointed by the parties thereto and the consideration will be further adjusted to the market price as stated on such valuation report. Further announcement will be made by the Company in relation to the final consideration of the Properties later. The reason for such adjustment mechanism is that the consideration will better reflect the market value of the Properties. The consideration of the Properties shall be settled in cash within 3 months of the Completion. The Directors are of the view that it is more appropriate for the consideration of the Properties to be settled within 3 months of the Completion because it will take time for the Purchaser on behalf of the PRC Company to obtain financing from financial institution for the purchase of the Properties.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The initial consideration for the Properties Disposal was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties on normal commercial terms with reference to the unaudited net book value of approximately RMB 83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million) of the Properties as at 31 December 2011. The Directors consider the terms and conditions of the Properties Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions Precedent of the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement

Completion of the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be conditional upon (i) the passing of the relevant resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and all other consents and acts required under the Listing Rules having been obtained and completed; and (ii) the PRC Company procures 70% or more of the consideration of the Properties by borrowing from a financial institution using the Properties and/or equipments as collateral.

The parties shall complete the transfer of the Properties within 3 months after the Completion.

Notwithstanding anything contrary therein, pursuant to the Framework Agreement and the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement, if the PRC Company fails to procure 70% or more of the consideration of the Properties by borrowing from a financial institution using the Properties and/or equipments as collateral, the PRC Company shall be entitled to terminate the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement without any liability to Zhongshan Tat Chun.

If the conditions precedent of the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement set out above have not been fulfilled, the PRC Company is entitled to terminate the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement may not be completed.

Call Option

After the Completion of the Share Purchase Agreement, the PRC Company will be managed mainly by the Purchaser. However, the new management team still needs some time to be familiar with the financial institutions and to obtain financing to support the acquisition of the Properties currently leased to the PRC Company by Zhongshan Tat Chun for production purpose. As such, pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the PRC Company shall have an option to purchase the Properties from Zhongshan Tat Chun for one year after the Completion. Upon the exercise of the Call Option, Zhongshan Tat Chun shall sell the Properties by entering into a real property sale and purchase agreement and the parties shall further negotiate in relation to the terms and conditions at the time when the PRC Company exercises the Call Option.

For the period from the Completion to the date on which the ownership of the Properties is transferred to the PRC Company as a result of the PRC Company’s exercise of the Call Option, the PRC Company shall use the Properties in a continuous manner and the PRC Company shall pay Zhongshan Tat Chun at the prevailing market rent in relation to the leasing of the Properties. If the PRC Company does not exercise the Call Option within one year after the Completion, the PRC Company shall pay the prevailing market rate rent to Zhongshan Tat Chun for use of the Properties thereafter.

The Company will comply with the relevant Listing Rules upon the exercise of the Call Option.

The Properties are located at Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC and is owned by Zhongshan Tat Chun. The Properties mainly comprise PCB factory and other related premises and is currently rented to the PRC Company by Zhongshan Tat Chun. The Properties occupy a total site area of approximately 66,000 square meters and have gross floor area of approximately 52,412 square meters. The book value of the Properties as at 31 December 2011 amounts to approximately HK$102.3 million.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSALS

The Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of board range of LED lighting and PCBs including single-sided PCBs, double-sided PCBs and multi-layered PCBs up to 12 layers.

In light of the rapid technology change in the PCB industry, the Company considers that it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have strategic alliance with other reputed PCB industry participants in the market because the Directors believe that the Purchaser will transfer relevant technology for producing PCBs for high-end customers to the PRC Company, contributing to higher gross margin level of the PRC Company. In addition, the Purchaser will refer new PCBs customers to the Company or vice versa. As such, the cooperation with the Purchaser will benefit both the Company and the Purchaser. Further, the Disposals will on one hand represent an opportunity to allow the Group to realise its investments in the PRC Company and the Properties and on the other hand allow the Group to establish joint venture relationship with the Purchaser, a listed company in Korea principally engaged in the PCB related industry. The current technology level of the Purchaser is higher than the Company and the Purchaser will deploy its management team to the PRC Company.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The management team will bring in new technology to the PRC Company and will thus improve its technical level and product quality. As such, the Company considers that the Disposals are beneficial to the Group. After the Disposals, the MLB Business will be transferred to the Target Group and the Company will only produce single and double layer PCBs mainly through Zhongshan Tat Chun.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement and the Real Property Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and that the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSALS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Earnings

Based on the initial consideration for the Sale Shares Disposal of HK$141,567,154.86, it is estimated that the Group will record an unaudited loss of approximately HK$6,000,000, being the difference between the estimated net proceeds from the Sale Shares Disposal of HK$135,567,154.86 (after deducting all relevant fees and expenses) and 51% of the unaudited net asset value of the PRC Company as at 30 September 2011 of approximately HK$277,582,656.59 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong. The net loss from the Sale Shares Disposal will be obtained from working capital of the Group. The net proceeds from the Sale Share Disposal will be used to settle all current accounts including payment by the Company or its affiliates on behalf of the PRC Company, receipt by the Company or its affiliates on behalf of the PRC Company, purchasing activities by the Company or its affiliates on behalf of the Company and sales to the Company or its affiliates by the PRC Company. The current accounts receivable of the PRC Company from affiliates of the Company is approximately HK$117 million as at 30 April 2012.

Based on the initial consideration of the Properties Disposal of RMB83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million), it is estimated that the Group will record an unaudited loss of approximately HK$21 million, being the difference between the estimate net proceeds from the Properties Disposal of HK$81.3 million (after deducting all relevant fees and expenses) and the unaudited net book value of the Properties as at 31 December 2011 of approximately RMB83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million). It is estimated that the unaudited loss of approximately HK$21 million will comprise of land appreciation tax of approximate HK$ 5.6 million, business tax of approximate HK$ 5.6 million, corporate income tax of approximate HK$ 9.5 million, and other miscellaneous tax of approximate HK$ 0.3 million. The net proceeds from the Properties Disposal will be used by Zhongshan Tat Chun to repay the loan of HK$80 million borrowed from a bank and remove security charged on the Properties under the name of Zhongshan Tat Chun.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets and liabilities

After the Sale Shares Disposal, the Company’s shareholding in the Target, which holds 100% in the PRC Company, will be reduced from 100% to 49% and thus the Target and the PRC Company will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and become associate companies of the Company. As such, the assets and liabilities of the Target and the PRC Company will be deconsolidated from the Group’s future financial statements. The Company will then account for the net assets and results of the Target and the PRC Company by equity accounting method. Because of the exclusion of the assets and liabilities of the Target and the PRC Company, the total assets and liabilities of the Group will be reduced.

Based on the initial consideration of the Properties Disposal of RMB83.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$102.3 million), it is estimated that the assets of the Group will be reduced by RMB83.9 million, being net book value of the Properties, and total liabilities of the Group will be reduced by HK$80 million, being the bank loan.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules for each of the Sales Shares Disposal and Properties Disposal is over 25% but less than 75%, the Disposals constitute major transactions on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are subject to, among others, the approval of the Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders and its associates has a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Agreements, accordingly no Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

EGM

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the present available financial resources, including funds internally generated from operation, the banking and other facilities presently available and the estimated net proceed from the Disposals, the Remaining Group will have sufficient working capital for its business for the next twelve (12) months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2011 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up).

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

The Remaining Group will be principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of board range of LED lighting and PCBs including single-sided PCBs, double-sided PCBs.

Looking ahead, the LED industry will continue to boom in the year 2012 given rapid urbanization in China and the favourable policies announced by the Chinese government. While we expect the market share of LED lights will be further expanded after the implementation of the ban on incandescent lamp, the LED light industry is experiencing organic growth under the promotion of “Twelve Five-year Plan” and “10 Cities 10,000 Lamps” policies. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, it is expected that the penetration rate of LED lighting will reach over 25% in 2015, with total production value of RMB 500 billion in the industry. While the government has announced the subsidy of 30% on LED lamp projects, we strongly believe that there will be plenty of room for LED street lamp and interior lamp markets to grow at a rapid pace.

The expected growth of the LED road lamp business is also statistically supported by GLII (高工產 業研究院LED產業研究所). According to the GLII (高工產業研究院LED產業研究所) report, the installation of LED road lamps in 2011 amounted to 530,000, which increased by 51% while comparing to the same period in 2010; and the forecast for 2012 is amounting to 850,000. With the encouraging statistics given, securing optimal LED road lamp installation contracts with the various provincial governments in China will be the Group’s major focus.

– 21 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

In order to maintain the competitiveness and enlarging the market share in the LED lighting market, the Group will keep diversifying product mix to work on the commercial LED lighting projects in addition to government projects. Such commercial projects include interior lighting projects, landscape lighting projects and lamp renovations etc. Given the recognition from NDRC and provincial governments, we believe that we can further secure more projects in the coming years by leveraging on our high quality LED products through our proven technology and research capability.

The Remaining Group will be principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of broad range of LED Lighting and PCBs, including single-sided PCBs and double-sided PCBs. The Group aims to co-operate with a strong strategic partner in the PCB business by cross-referring new PCBs customers. The current technology level of the Purchaser is higher than the Company and the Purchaser will deploy its management team to the PRC Company. The management team of the Purchaser will bring in new technology to the PRC Company and will thus improve its technical level and product quality. As such, it is expected that the Remaining Group will be benefited in the future.

Looking ahead, we will maximize our development efforts in both LED and PCB businesses and strive for the highest return in the coming years.

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTIES

APPENDIX II

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

Our valuation the Properties represents its market value which in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

Our valuations of the Properties exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

In the course of our valuation of the Properties situated in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Property for its specific term at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information and advice given by the Company and the opinion of the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Beijing DeHeng Law Offices, regarding the titles to the Properties and the interests in the Properties. In valuing the Properties, we have assumed that the owners have enforceable title to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Properties for the whole of the unexpired term as granted.

No allowance has been made in our valuation of the Properties for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of onerous nature which could affect their values.

We have valued the whole interest in the Properties.

METHOD OF VALUATION

In valuing the Property held for owner-occupation in the PRC, we have valued it on vacant possession basis by “Depreciated Replacement Costs (“DRC”) Approach”. DRC Approach is a method where the value of a property is derived by adding together the market value of the land in its existing use and the current gross replacement costs of the improvements, less allowances for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence.

We have valued the land on an assumption of sale with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market. The term gross replacement cost is defined as the estimated cost of erecting the building or a modern substitute building having the same area as the existing building at prices current at the relevant date. This figure includes fees and finance charges payable during the construction period and other associated expenses directly related to the construction of the building. The DRC Approach generally furnishes a reliable indication of value for Properties with specific nature and design of buildings, in the absence of identifiable market sales comparables. The DRC Approach is subject to adequate potential profitability of the business.
